A Saturday Soundtrack: Long-lost Gershwin musical found by University of Michigan researcher – mlive.com

After opening on Broadway in 1919 and touring for a few years, its last known production was in Massachusetts in May 1926. It’s since been seen as a lost work of one of the great American musicians.

But, thanks to a University of Michigan researcher, what once was lost now is found. And, thanks to a pair of the university’s vocal students, you can now hear the historic music for yourself.

Perhaps my favorite annual read: The Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder’s Letter.

Full of business wisdom and personal wit. Everything one needs to know about business and investing is contained in the collective within.

You do know all these seemingly out of nowhere memes about “Post a pic of you at age..” are being used to train AI and facial recognition systems (some for surveillance purposes), right?

You do?

You’re happy freely feeding that beast?

OK, then. Carry on without me.

The Newest Therapy Dupe? Starting a Men’s Group

I decided to ask the Style Girlfriend community on Instagram if they have their own version of Men’s Group™… The response? Immediate, positive, and heart-warming. Stories flooded in of dedicated friend gatherings, and even a few wistful, “I don’t have this, but I wish I did!” responses.

I was honored to have a small bit of my own experience included in this.

Oh look! I updated my Now page. Unceasing miracles and wonders.

Oklahoma banned trans students from bathrooms. Now a bullied student is dead after a fight | The Independent

As the father of a trans woman (my oldest) and a 16 year old (my youngest) I can’t help but deeply empathize and want to personally find those responsible and do very non-Buddhist things to them. So sad. So angry.

Mr. Wade’s thoughts on Leadership are very much in line with this essay in my next book.
